This may be of big news to users, especially the more veteran of us. Imabench has supposedly published a letter regarding the campaign of TV, and stated that innomen has gone against his campaign. This is incredibly big news, I would say, and worth a read.

Hawkings, this was all a crude attempt at exploiting private information for an underground campaign against TV that I regret doing completely, and it is something that shouldnt be made public so if you could remove the entire post of the conversation from the DDO blog it would be much appreciated by a lot of people.

Alright, so expose imabench for revealing private information. But why the hell are you making information that should already been private to begin with even more public.

Thanks for the info Stephen_Hawkins!

I probably will not vote or Dark after that charade.

You got to that at a terrible time, and it was removed after about 5 minutes.

On the grounds that I got a request to post this by 10 people within the two days I was not online.

A lot of us are extremely opposed to the idea of Askbob being unbanned. Without this issue being brought to our attention it's possible that TV may have been elected and simply unbanned him. I never heard TV once bring the issue of Askbob or unbanning up, and it wasn't until people became aware of this that TV decided to post a forum about it.

Shortly thereafter, he reconsidered the idea when he heard how unpopular the idea was with much of the DDO membership, and that Askbob had been trolling around just a couple weeks before.

But this happened weeks ago, so it's really a non-issue now, unless TV has reconsidered his position...

This isn't scandalous or news worthy in the least then, and then what is this other than "shock journalism" to the uninformed?

Journalism 101... How does this post move the story forward?

It actually happened on the 23rd. That's 11 days.

OK... Fair enough.. and yet that's more than enough time for members to have heard about this issue, and already have been informed beyond what is being presented in the post.

..And I still don't see why it's being presented in this way... Even one of the labels on the post is "Shock", as though this is some type of tabloid issue.

The current president expressed a serious concern with one of the candidates policies. One of the candidates brought this concern into light, and the candidate with that questionable policy reconsidered his position once he finally made that position public.

SO what exactly is the headline here...? TV feels bad that a poor policy of his was brought to light by his competition?

It's about how questionable the communication between Imabench and DK is, how moral a smear campaign is, and how moral the VP is and whether or not Imabench is more of a burden than a burden-carrier.

Those are legitimate questions that voters can ask and answer themselves. However I don't see how it can be viewed as a "smear campaign" in the least. Everything was factual and accurately presented by TV's own admission. Perhaps it should have been done in a different way, but I don't see what difference that makes, as the end result was providing the voters with information they would not have had otherwise.

Spinning it in the way this post does makes it seem as though the action had some type of negative consequence, when it actually had a very positive one.

This is probably the most accurate post. Imabench made an imprudent and impulsive decision that cost him a lot. My words were taken out of context, and yes I lament the loss of TV's respect and friendship as a result. Those of us who are directly involved and are capable would like to move on from this event, and perhaps learn from it. I will make it clear one more time that I bear no hard feelings toward Imabench, he's a good guy who hopefully learned a valuable lesson, and TV, is a staple and a standard of this site, and everyone here should hold him in very high regard. Unlike some of the candidates that I have seen, both Darkkermit and TV have the best interest of the site as an objective of their victory as president.
